Hey Fred,
While I’m not using the same Navigator compass as you, my compass is mounted centered on top of the instrument panel halfway back from the front edge. The problem that arose once I started flying, and it may only be my problem, is that this area is not very rigid and my compass vibrates…..a lot. Enough so that I added some stiffening to the underside of the instrument module. While it did help, it did not alleviate it completely. I just wanted you be aware prior to your decision as this may have some adverse effects for your compass.

Along with my Europa kit, I ordered the “Navigator” compass which was offered as an accessory at the time of purchase.
I ask because the mounting procedure offers little slack…i.e., no second chance...and I want to get it right the first time.
And I’m wondering what that "optimum position” might be…?…
With only “hangar flying” experience, my sense is that the best position would be to mount the adhesive pad provided as high as possible on the windscreen, along the aircraft’s centerline…
A different approach would be to rotate the bracket with the mounting pad and adhere it to the top of the instrument panel module, again on the aircraft centerline…
Or is there, perhaps, another alternative?
Have Europa pilots with in-flight experience settled this question?…or has the digital world eliminated the need or desirability for what’s become a little anachronism?
Advice and counsel appreciated,
Fred
